For installations with higher-capacity cable.
In many data communications applications, using products
that exceed required capacities is usually not a problem.
But sometimes more isn’t better. For instance, KVM extenders
are designed to expect CAT5 and only CAT5 cable.
You’d probably guess that Category 3 cable wouldn’t
be effective with these products, and you’d be right.
But you may also assume that if Category 5 cable works just
fine, Category 5e, Category 6, and other higher-capacity
cables would work even better. This isn’t the case.
KVM extenders from many manufacturers, including our
ServSwitch CAT5 KVM Extenders, are designed specifically
for the Category 5 specs defined by the TIA/EIA standard.
Higher-level cables, such as CAT5e, have different
characteristics and specs. Although differences like twist
ratios might seem small, they can have a negative impact
on these extenders, which are expecting a true
Category 5 transmission.
However, if you already have CAT5e or CAT6 cable
installed, you can work around this problem by installing
a ServSwitch Brand CAT5 Extender Delay Line Module
(ACUDLY) or ServSwitch Wizard Skew Compensator
(ACU510 0A).
